Although considerable damage accrued, yet in both cases the active exertions of the neighbours prevented the flames from communi cating With the adjoining. buildings. But we feel much regret in adding, that, from several circum , stances, there seems but too much reason to fear that the fires were wilful. As a precognition is now going on, we shall only add, at inthre diately preceding, or during the conflagration at Linton Mill, a considerable sum of money was stolen Irons the miller's dwelling-house;,--(ktho Mail.) The young English Lions, whelped at the Me nagerie, Exeter 'Change, so far from partaking of the ferocious spirit 'of iheir noble Sire and Dam, are even move docile titan the tamest of our English dogs ; and it is really onions to see how quiescently they receive the fondling cut braces of Ladies and Children of both sexes. At nine o'clock, when they are fed in common with the large Collection of other noble Animals at this Depot, it is astonishing, indeed, to see the immense number of Visitants ; it affords the phi losophic mind a rare opportunity of appreciating the correctness of Buffon on Natto.sl History. Tuesday night the premises of Messrs. Paine, at Shadwell, were broken into, and robbed of 171. in notes and silver.

BRIGFI roN, IVlARcii 31. But little has occurred here for many days past, either to interest or amuse. The weather has been bright lot the season, and the public rides and promenades have been well attended. The Royal Steyne Library, and Choles, in Nurth-street, have seldom I:teen without their elegant and po lished'eircle of sociable visitants. The extended improvements at the Pavilion go on ra The industrious workmen reap the full beneht of this, for many poor families obtain a competence by their employments' there, which gives them a feeling of comparative independence, in .render ing them superior to parochial relief. Mr. Nash, the architect, was busily employed last. week about the Palace, in directing the execution of his plans. A rumour is prevalent, that the Prince Regent's yacht, the Royal George, has been ordered round to this station ; this rumour, however, at best, may be regarded as premature. It is als6 reported, that the Princess Elizabeth and the Ptince of Hesse 1-lomberg intend being here very soon alter their ntqvials ; the state of the Pavilion, however, which is entitely out of condition, and cannot pos sibly be got ready so suddenly, is in itself a refuta tion of the rumour.

The plot is extravagant, as might be expected in a farce. The hero is Pop pilino (lIAHLEv),, the servant of Rinaldo (BAn- NARD), who enters the house of The Podesta (fiuGues), and having swallowed a sleeping draught, is supposed to be dead, and is put into a chest, which is stolen by thieves. At length, after many whimsical incidents, the two lovers, Rinaldo and the Podesta's Daughter, are brought together, and the piece, according to precedent, ends happily.--The author is PENLEY, the actor, who has put together a whimsical piece, which afforded so - much amusement, and excited Si) much laughter, that it will probably. become popular.

The situation Where the ring was made was truly picturesque and commanding an unin terrupted view of diversified scenery. At a little after one, Paiwer and Spring appeared in the outer ring, and tifinti thi•ir toveting, shook hands in the most cordial and trite Essglis,hman-like man ner.

RENlAlll“.—Spring has turned ont a much better man than he seas previously rated; though it is even now urged he is not a hard hitter. in fact, it was almost-a lviooolless fight. Painter, it should seem, dot hot complain of - the p+/ids/ewe/ t he received. hut of the exertniating pain of his head, and the impracticability he experienced of using Lis shoulder to any advantage. - gouvucss of Painter is too well knows, to need any comments ; but as a first-rate fighter he nevcr ranked, from lite confined slate of his arms, added to his beluga round littler. :spring is tnoloulitOly a boxer of talent ; he uses his left hand well, though not so rpticts as Carter; and he gets away with ease and dexterity. lie possesses coolness and command of temper, .and'it is very likely he will cut out state work fur a few of the big ones, as his * ambition prwmpts hint to arrive at the top of the trfc..
